Rise Above It All

Rise Above It All

by Jane Powell on September 22, 2011

“Reality is something to rise above.”


Great things are accomplished when you believe that what’s inside of you is superior to your circumstances. Believing you’re more important than any of your problems, that you’re bigger than anything that can happen to you, takes courage.


You may have to dig deep for this courage, but it is there. Rise above fear and doubt. Remind yourself that you are in control, that the time to live is today!

Expose yourself to as much humiliation as you can bear

"When you want something, go back and go back and go back, and don't take 'no' for an answer.  And when rejection comes, don't take it personally.  It goes with the territory.   Expose yourself to as much humiliation as you can bear, then go home and go do it all again tomorrow." - Betty Furness, Writer/Consumer Advocate

When we love...

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.  When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. ~ Paul Coelho, "The Alchemist"

The Effort of Striving

"Success for the striver washes away the effort of striving."

~ Pindar, Greek Poet
